Lay ajar – The Sentry, Lying, said, "There's no one near." – We knew the truth! No one else though, Could see the thin, grey edge… (Edge –) ***** Timely white edge To find… Far beyond Egypt… In the fond After-land… While open colors Spoke in a fast heat, The storms swept Across Easter Island. They all stood, mouths agape. No one believed it could be done… Believed the effort would be won… – Or that it should prove to be – SO FUN! ***** Ooo-oo-ooo... But there it was, In the stark light, Awaiting the advancement, Of the night. And who would have thought of such a fight? Huh! A beggar – against a knight! Woo-oah! And what a sight! (Sight) The Gates... (Gates) Of Utopia (U–to–pia!) Lay ajar – The Sentry, Lying, said, "They're all gone afar." – We knew the truth! Ev'ry-one else thought: "Surely, I can see the thin, hard edge…" (Edge –) ***** There are no more absurd things That can be… Though you’ll surely see three… That can come and go, Bound and yet – – Free! (Free) Yes! Free! The truth is the fetter that bound him. Yet more dubious the vetter that found him And far from this place of bright night… One can feel there’s no better sight. But any can say, “Aye!” – And lower – – Away! (Away!…) ***** The Gates… (Gates) Of Utopia (U–to–pia!) Lay ajar – The Sentry, Lying, said, "Now, it's just a lark" We knew the truth. Ev'ry-one else thought: "Surely, I'll just land on the ledge…" (Ledge) (Ledge) (Ledge) (Ledge) (Ledge) (Ledge) {Utopia, v1j} ********** <<<<<<<>>>>>>> ********** ©2024, All Rights Reserved, Clifford E.
